LTA Youth has five stages
Blue: 4-6 years - Learn the basics
This is an introduction to tennis. Here, we will help your child improve their balance, agaility and co-ordination while passing on our passion for the sport we love. At this stage, it's not about winning or losing, it's just getting the grips with the basics. We ask parents/guardians to stay and participate in each session to ensure the lessons are interactive and your child is fully involved throughout. This also helps your child to progress at a faster pace.This is an introduction to tennis.

Red: 6-8 years - Serve, rally and score
This will look a bit more like the tennis you know. You’ll see overarm serves, rallies and volleys. Coaches will help children to further develop their co-ordination, balance and speed. We’ll introduce relaxed competition here too. We ask the parents/guardians to stay and participate in each session to ensure the lessons are interactive and your child is fully involved throughout.

Orange: 8-9 years - Develop a rounded game
Time to throw in some tactics, problem-solving, and guides to sportsmanship and leadership. At this stage children will know all of the rules and will be serving and returning in matches.
Green: 9-10 years - Test your skills
This is the big one. It’s time for kids to play on full size courts. Now it’s all about growing their game by fine tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far.
Yellow: 11+ years - Take your skills further
Time to find your game. Playing on a full size court with the same size balls the pros use, kids will continue to explore different styles on the court, and start to choose their own. Along with developing their tennis skills, your child will also learn multiple life skills whilst achieving a sense of accomplishment and boosting self-esteem.
